17.1 Legacy Series / Intrusion Detection Clarification
« on: July 20, 2017, 05:52:36 pm »
Hello!
I'm in the process of setting up intrusion protection with Suricata and I am a bit confused after looking at the options and reading the documentation.
What does the "IPS Mode" setting exactly do? I see that it says it blocks traffic. What kind of traffic? Does it block all my rules, even the ones that I have set to alert only?
I want to be able to pick and choose which rules should be blocked, which rules should log alerts and allow, and which rules should be ignored. Does IPS mode need to be enabled to do this?
